DETROIT, June 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Christopher Rivers, CEO of Visionz Group LLC, announced that starting this July 2021 the company will be providing workforce development and other services for parolees in tandem with Health Management Systems of America (HMSA).
Since its inception Visionz Group has been at the forefront of soft skills research and curriculum development for youth and young adults. Its robust and interactive College, Career and Life Skills Readiness curriculum has been used by youth groups, colleges, churches, corporations and more to improve the soft or "life" skills of their participants.
The Visionz evidenced based, culturally responsive programming was recently introduced into the juvenile detention and prison systems for adult inmates, to help them to re-integrate into their local communities and reduce the risks of recidivism. Under this new contract with HMSA, Visionz Group will be assisting ex-offenders in the state of Michigan by implementing Employment Readiness Workshops, Job Search Assistance Programs, and Vocational/Occupational Assessments. Studies have shown that teaching evidence-based life skills to offenders who are at-risk will reduce recidivism by 40%. By helping these offenders strengthen their job readiness and life skills, the program aims to build their assets and thereby reduce the likelihood of future delinquent behavior.
